COLD PLAY: FOR YOU [7]



Coldplay are an English alternative rock band formed in 1997 by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London.[1] After forming Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as a bassist and they changed their name to Starfish.[2] Will Champion joined as a drummer, backing vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, completing the lineup. Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998, before recording and releasing three EPs; Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters as a single in 1999 and The Blue Room in the same year. The latter was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone.
Coldplay's early material was compared to acts such as Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, U2, and Travis. They achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single "Yellow" in 2000, followed by their debut album released in the same year, Parachutes, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), won multiple awards, including NME's Album of the Year. Their next release, X&Y, received a slightly less enthusiastic yet still generally positive reception upon its release in 2005. The band's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was produced by Brian Eno and released again to largely favourable reviews, earning several Grammy nominations and wins. Coldplay have sold over 50 million records worldwide.
Since the release of Parachutes, Coldplay have drawn influence from other sources, including Echo & the Bunnymen, Kate Bush, George Harrison and Muse[11] on A Rush of Blood to the Head, Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk for X&Y and Blur, Arcade Fire and My Bloody Valentine on Viva la Vida. Coldplay have been an active supporter of various social and political causes, such as Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign and Amnesty International. The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Band Aid 20, Live 8, Sound Relief, Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, and the Teenage Cancer Trust.

1. YOUR LOVE MEANS EVERYTHING


I slipped away last night
Took me away from sight and the place i know

All crushed upon my skin
This mess i put you in
and the punch i threw

It was a strange reaction
for someone like you to remain on side

And in a chain reaction
I was down and calling for a place to hide

I saw a broken arm
Machines will all break down in a way i know

It was a strange reaction
for someone like you to remain so sure

And in a chain reaction
I dissolve and break and then away i crawl

...and then away i crawl[x4]

2. FOR YOU

If you're lost and feel alone,
Circumnavigate the globe,
All you ever have to hope
For too.

And the way you seem to flow
Circumnavigating home,
and I seem to lose control,
With you.

Everyone of us is hurt,
Everyone of us is scarred,
Everyone of us is scared.
Not you.
With your eyes closed,
Your head hangs,
Your eyes felt stone.

Everyone of us is scared,
Everyone of us is hurt,
Everyone of us has hope,
For you. (x9)

3. LOST

[Songwriters: Berryman, Guy Rupert; Buckland, Jonathan Mark; Champion, Will; Martin, Christopher A J;]



Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish in a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

4. BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Bones are sinking like stones
All that we fall for
Homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world

Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fall for
homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world X2

Oh all that I know is nothing to run from
Cause yeah everybody here got somebody to lean on

5. REIGN OF LOVE



Reign of love
I can't let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load

Locusts will lift me up
I'm just a prisoner
In a Reign of love

Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I'd spoken
To the Reign of love

Reign of love
By the church we're waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying

How I wish I'd spoken up
Or we'd been carried
To the Reign of love

6. A WHISPER


A whisper [x4]
A whisper [x4]
I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper [x2]

Night turns to day and I still have these questions
You just won't break, should I go forwards or backwards
Night turns to day and I've still got no answers

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper [x2]

Now I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper [x2]

7. SEE YOU SOON

[Songwriters: Martin, Chris Anthony; Buckland, Jon Mark; Berryman, Guy Rupert; Champion, Will;]



So you lost your trust
And you never should have
Oh you never should have

But don't break your back
If you ever see this
But don't answer that

'Cause in a bullet proof vest
With the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best and I'll see you soon

In a telescope lens
And when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon

So they came for you
They come snapping at your heels
They come snapping at your heels

But don't break your back
If you ever hear this
Well don't answer that

'Cause in a bullet proof vest
With the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best and I'll see you soon

And in a telescope lens
And when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon

Oh ooo, you lost your trust
And oh, you lost your trust
No, don't lose your trust
And oh, don't lose your trust
